3271.—The Undying Worm

By Editor

Will you please explain in your question page Mark 9:44, 46, 48? What worm is this? It seems to be different from the one spoken of in Isa. 14:11.

The worm in this scripture is used as a symbol of absolute and complete destruction. See answer to Question No. 3263 in the SIGNS of October 18. The worm of Isa. 14:11 is indicative of the same thing, destruction having reference to worms which prey upon the carcasses of the dead.
